I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Explain to me the problem the law solves. Things were fine, this is a manufactured trans panic.
The government should not keep secrets from the parent without a court order involved. Thats common sense, falls under "Don't trust the government" And yall wonder why so many are home schooling these days
Since when are teachers part of "the government" lmao
And no one is wondering why so many are home schooling. We are well aware it's because ignorant parents are afraid that their children will be exposed to ideas, concepts, and facts that they disagree with. The parents are pretty vocal about it we do not have to speculate.
Okay, public school teachers. Fine, I wasn't pedantic enough.
And yall are misinformed about homeschooling, like you are most things.
Nah that isn't being pedantic, you just made a really poor argument. Teachers aren't part of "THE government" they are just teachers. That's like saying you also don't trust the health inspectors, social workers, firemen, USPS, doctors and nurses at county hospitals, and libraries--- oh wait no that one is also under suspicion and attack because schools and libraries are a place for education and provide access to things a certain group of people disagree with.
So Okay. Enlighten me the reasons that so many people are switching to home school. I'm eager to learn.
My dad was a firefighter and had to give warnings and citations to hill folks who didn’t trim their grass during fire season. As crazy as it seems…in that situation to some of these people firefighters are actually the big bad government.
Yup, it seems crazy. I believe it though I just think it's unfortunate and depressing that people can be that narrow minded.
If they work for the government directly, then they are part of the government.
And for the record, public schools are shit, kids are bullied, and they fail to teach. And any time an adult wants a kid to keep secrets, its not a good thing. Im trying very hard to not call you guys pedos, but thats what pedos do, ask kids to keep secrets from parents.
No one is asking kids to keep secrets. The kid is free to tell anyone they want, including their parents, what name they prefer to go by for school. It's hands down a sloppy attempt to ostracize and alienate trans children by making it the overworked teachers responsibility to police nickname use by checking with parents.
Lmao at your reach though, I hope you get deprogrammed soon.
Who said keep secrets?
Do you expect every teacher to call parents if they hear Steven getting called Steve?
Apparently but it’s only the first day of school. I can’t even believe it. I would not believe this if I heard about it…I have the email from the school though.
Oh I believe you, i was responding to @blamemeta
